Chapter 128: Fire Attack Monthly Pass)
Lin Kunshan stood in front of Han Ruzi with a expressionless face, "No, I can't do it. Those who look up at the aura can only follow the trend. If the situation is not there, we can't do it. These people are here to support the old emperor and let them change their minds and go to the northern border. I can't do it."
"That's enough, I hope Mr. Lin can help me with another thing."
"Yes." Lin Kunshan didn't comment.
"Those who look at their energy follow the trend. Since the situation here is difficult to change, then go out and take a look. Perhaps someone is willing to join the Rebel Army to fight against the Huns."
Lin Kunshan slowly showed a smile, as if he was agreeing, and as if he was mocking, "The Great Chu Xiong soldiers are millions, and they can't even use them all, so how can the people join the army voluntarily?"
Han Ruzi also smiled, "It's hard to say, I never thought that before, there would be people supporting the deposed emperor."
Lin Kunshan thought for a while and said reluctantly: "Okay, since Your Majesty wants me to leave the village, I'll leave, my people..."
"Stay away or leave."
Lin Kunshan nodded and turned around and left.
King Donghai, who was watching in the corner, couldn't help but speak again, "As soon as Lin Kunshan leaves, those people in the martial arts world will follow you, and the power in your hands is getting less and less."
"These powers are not used by me, what's the point of keeping them?"
"Hey, no one is using it for you at all. My uncle will soon send a thousand iron cavalry, and in the blink of an eye, you can level the riverside village. What can you do then? Put the knife around my neck?"
"Tashi Cui is a reasonable person and will not be so reckless."
King Donghai sneered constantly. Of course, he didn't believe his uncle would do this, but he still felt that Han Ruzi was ignorant.
Han Ruzi paced back and forth, and suddenly asked Wuming: "You often stay in the market. Do you think someone will join the rebel army to fight against the Huns?"
"No." The answer to "deathlessness" is simple and straightforward.
Han Ruzi smiled and then sighed.
"Hey. Look at how you looked just now, I thought you were confident." King Donghai regained some confidence from this sigh.
Of course, Han Ruzi was not confident. In fact, he didn't even have a bamboo leaf in his mind. Yang Feng once told him that there was too much information and it was even more difficult to sort out. The emperor had to learn to throw away most of the information, or to figure out the truth by himself when there was very little information and make a decision.
The key is to stand on the other person's standpoint and learn how the other person thinks.
Empress Dowager, what would Taifu Cui do?
"The Empress Dowager must have mastered an army that can compete with the Southern Army. Grand Tutor Cui had no choice but to give up on the uprising and went north to join the war. In this case, Grand Tutor Cui would not kill me, and in order to save the King of Donghai, he would also help me. Grand Tutor... Queen Mother..."
The empress dowager had too many choices, and Han Ruzi couldn't think of what she would do.
King Donghai kept sneering, "Just with the hundreds of bad people in your hands, the Queen Mother will let you go? Joke, a big joke."
Someone knocked outside, and Kim Chun-jung pushed the door in and brought three bowls of rice with dried fish and a little vegetables on it.
Don't even say thank you. Donghai King is still as picky as before. But he was so hungry that he finished the dried fish in a few bites, with most of the rice left, and asked, "Why are the fish so small today? The rice is not as much as usual."
Han Ruzi held the bowl and swallowed it. Then she took a look. Indeed, there was less rice and only one dried fish. "There is not much food in the village?"
"Well. Save a little bit and you can stick to it until tomorrow until night." Jin Chunzhong took over more responsibilities and understood the actual situation more.
"Can you eat enough?" Han Ruzi knew that if he even had so little food for himself, there would definitely be even less for others.
"Fortunately, everyone can understand that Juehou can't convert food into..."
Han Ruzi's heart moved, "No matter how much food is left, take it out and make sure everyone is full."
"But..." Jin Chunzhong couldn't understand this approach.
"Listen to me, even if you don't have to eat tomorrow morning, you have to let everyone have enough food first. Maybe... I can really make it happen." Han Ruzi smiled.
"Okay, I'll go and order to open the stove again. There should be no problem with tomorrow's breakfast." Jin Chun's advice back.
King Donghai had already finished most of his bowl of rice. He was looking at his life-lost bowl, but he didn't dare to ask for it. He said to Han Ruzi: "You are seeking death. Without food and grass, there will be no army. This is the simplest truth. The morale of the army is unstable. After eating the food, everyone will have to scatter tonight."
Han Ruzi found the flint velvet, lit the only small oil lamp in the house, and said to Wuwang: "The people will not join the army to fight against the Huns, are they willing to join the army for a full meal?"
As a chef in a well-known restaurant, he was not picky and didn't care about his life. He ate a bowl of rice cleanly, put down the bowl, and said, "The people in the city don't know, but outside the city, I don't know."
Han Ruzi smiled slightly, not knowing that he was desperate was a kind of affirmation.
Donghai King showed an incredible expression, "You are crazy. You can't even feed these hundreds of people. You want to attract more people? What's the point? Are you cheating?"
"Lin Kunshan will do this for me."
Donghai King was stunned, "Why?"
"Because he doesn't want to achieve nothing, I gave up the original plan of the person who looks up. If Lin Kunshan wants to accomplish something, he should help me. Follow the trend and do whatever the people want to hear, Lin Kunshan will say what they have. There are also his accomplices around the capital. Working together will motivate many people who are desperate. The three thousand people I have reported may be too few."
King Donghai was stunned for a while and suddenly burst into laughter, "Crazy, you are so crazy. Do you think things will follow your ideas? Do you think everything will be prepared for you overnight? Haha. Don't worry, you seem to be more reasonable. Please advise him. If this continues, he will ask the heavenly soldiers and generals."
He raised his right hand to his eyes, used the light to check the palm lines, and suddenly waved his backhand and slapped Donghai King in the face. Donghai King staggered and almost fell down. He covered his face with both hands and was furious, "I know you are Zuixianlou..."
After glanced at him, Donghai Wang immediately shut up, suppressed his anger, and did not want to suffer losses in front of him.
"I protect your safety." There is always a sense of cynicism in the coldness of life, as if there is nothing in this world worth taking seriously. "But if the enemy is too strong, I will not fight to protect you. You have to find a way for yourself."
"Of course." No matter how uneasy he was in his heart, Han Ruzi could show calmness again.
Cheers came from outside. It seemed that everyone was still very happy about having a full meal. As for what to do tomorrow, that was the issue that the "emperor" should worry about.
King Donghai walked a few steps sideways, staying away from his life, and said to Han Ruzi: "Why do you have to force yourself to a dead end and surrender to my uncle, so you can save trouble and become the emperor a hundred times greater than now."
Han Ruzi shook her head slowly, "I can't hold what I didn't hold in my hand at the beginning."
"If you continue to be stubborn, there will be no future."
Han Ruzi didn't say anything anymore, and his confidence that he had finally picked up was declining little by little. He needed several miracles to happen at the same time to get rid of the current predicament.
The door was suddenly knocked open, Jin Chunzhong broke in and said in panic: "No, someone sets fire outside the village."
Without saying a word, Han Ruzi immediately ran out of the room and stood at the door and looked into the distance. The crisis came earlier than the reward.
The village is facing the water to the east, and there are fires in the other three directions, which is obviously an artificial arson.
"Where is the sentinel outside?" Han Ruzi asked loudly.
"I'm back..." someone shouted. The crowd quickly gathered.
A group of righteous soldiers ran from the gate in panic, and one of them ran and shouted, "Officers and soldiers! The officers and soldiers are here again!"
The crowd was startled, and Han Ruzi immediately asked, "Which officers and soldiers? How many?"
The sentries ran to the front and stopped, but could not answer the question. A centurion said: "They blocked the road and set fire. Only the officers and soldiers would use this style of fighting."
Another group of sentries came over, and the leading centurion said breathlessly: "It's not an officer or a soldier, but a member of the Chai family. He said he wanted to take revenge."
"Chai Family!" Jin Chunzhong was shocked.
Chao Hua was furious, "The person who killed my father is here. Just so happen to rush out with me and avenge my father!"
A large group of people responded, and some people didn't say anything, not feeling that they had the obligation to avenge the old fisherman.
"Wait!" Han Ruzi said sternly and said to Chao Hua: "You agree to stay for another three days. During these three days, I will still be your commander."
Chao Hua's cruel and reckless side was aroused, and he looked back fiercely, but only lasted for a very short time, and bowed and said, "I will follow His Majesty's orders."
"Everyone is lined up and no one is allowed to leave the village."
Everyone panicked and searched for their 100-man team. The fire outside the village became increasingly fierce. Han Ruzi turned her head and whispered to the King of Donghai who was following him: "What kind of tactics are generally used to deal with fire attacks?"
King Donghai was already panicked, and the fire was ruthless. Once it was burned into the village, he could not even survive. He was scolding the Chai family in his heart. When he heard Han Ruzi's words, he replied casually: "Fire Attack? The book says...to clear out the open space, which can prevent the fire from spreading..."
Han Ruzi still read too few books. After being reminded by King Donghai, he realized and personally ordered several teams of hundreds to demolish the houses on the edge of the village.
The houses in Hebian Village were very simple. When the Chai family attacked the village in the morning, some of them had already burned down. The remaining rooms were easy to demolish. Dozens of people pushed them hard and poured them down. It took more time to move the scattered wood away. The fire outside was getting closer and closer, which was shocking.
A sudden shout of killing came from outside the village.
Han Ruzi shouted: "Don't be fooled, this is the enemy's plan to lure troops!"
Sure enough, the shouts quickly disappeared, but no one rushed in.
Han Ruzi led the rebels to retreat to the waterside, and someone shouted: "Go on the boat, everyone should get on the boat."
Han Ruzi felt it was inappropriate, and while he was thinking, King Donghai shouted: "No, set fires on three sides, leaving only waterways. This is clearly a plan to escape and intercept the enemy in the middle of the way. There must be an ambush from the Chai family on the water."
"We have been fishing here for many years, but when we get on the water, we are afraid that we can't deal with a few small fish?" Some people were quite dissatisfied.
King Donghai just shook his head. Although the fire outside was getting stronger and stronger and he was approaching the village, he was still calm.
Han Ruzi agreed with the view of Donghai King and said to Chao Hua: "Put a few torches onto the ship and push it out."
Chao Hua immediately did as he did, and worked with several people, untied a small boat and pushed it out along the river.
The boat was carrying torches and slowly floating on the lake. The fire outside had already burned to the fence wall of the village, and it seemed almost right next to it. Some people finally couldn't stand the torture and didn't care about the emperor and military laws. They jumped onto the boat and were about to run. More people followed closely behind, fighting for the ship, and the waterside suddenly fell into chaos.
Han Ruzi was about to be unable to suppress her, and Chao Hua shouted loudly: "Stop! There is really an ambush on the water, look!"
Everyone looked at the boat, and there was only a whizzing sound in the darkness, obviously all the arrows were fired at the same time.
The people on the boat went ashore in a hurry.
Donghai King murmured: "Where did the Chai family find the archers? They drove over a little longer and shot arrows on the shore, so we all died and were burial..."
Before he finished speaking, several ships actually appeared in the darkness, slowly sailing from the center of the lake towards the riverside village.
"Oh my God, this is not a member of the Chai family, this is... the ship of the Southern Army! My uncle..." The King of Donghai's eyes turned dark and he almost fainted.
The crisis came earlier than the reward, but it was not the enemy Han Ruzi expected. (To be continued.)
